Changing weather patterns, drought, increased rainfall and flooding will have a significant impact in the long term, potentially pushing up food prices and increasing production volatility. The World Bank estimates that, without any action on climate change, extreme weather events could lead to crop yield losses as high as 5% by 2030, which would drive up food prices. In the light of current and future food- security challenges in low-income countries— risks from climate change, population growth and potential spikes in food prices, among others—the GFSI highlights the fact that focusing on advancements in these countries must be a priority. How can low-income, developing countries move ahead despite the obstacles they face? Investment in infrastructure and food systems is the key to pushing these countries forward and narrowing the gap between the low-income and middle-income countries and their food-security systems. Governments will need to invest in the development and implementation of new technologies to make countries more resilient to changing weather patterns. Private investment must also be encouraged. 5 © The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 2016 Global food security index 2016 An annual measure of the state of global food security Key findings Food security has improved around the globe security.

  • Rapid Urbanization and Sustainability in Saudi Arabia: the Case of Dammam Metropolitan Area
    Journal of Sustainable Development; Vol. 8, No. 9; 2015 ISSN 1913-9063 E-ISSN 1913-9071 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Rapid Urbanization and Sustainability in Saudi Arabia: The Case of Dammam Metropolitan Area Antar A.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 7, 2015 Accepted: August 26, 2015 Online Published: October 24, 2015 doi:10.5539/jsd.v8n9p52 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jsd.v8n9p52 Abstract Rapid urbanization is a characterizing feature of urban change in Saudi Arabia, especially in its large metropolitan areas such as Riyadh, Dammam Metropolitan Area (DMA), Jeddah and Makkah. Such rapid urbanization has created many urban problems that contradict with the principles of sustainability. The paper argues that "Urban Sustainability" is a necessary policy in the case of DMA, and tries to define the needed approaches and actions to implement such policy in the region. In doing so, the paper starts by highlighting the rapid rate of urbanization in the Saudi Arabia in general; and in DMA in particular. Then, the paper presents an analysis of the unsustainable urbanization practices and problems in DMA. The paper then presents a literature review about sustainable urbanization approaches and requirements, focusing on developing countries. Finally, the paper recommends the necessary approaches and actions to achieve the proposed "Urban Sustainability" policy in DMA.
